I didn't even bother getting out of bed on Saturday. Every time I moved one of my limbs, pain shot through my entire body. This wasn't anything new to me, but I diffinately had to convince Alice and Lily to leave for lessons without me. They had no idea what was happening to me, so I just told them it must be some type of flu or something going around. I even lied and told them that I had heard about some Ravenclaws getting sick and maybe it was just spreading around.
I didn't move from my position in bed until about two in the afternoon. I had been dozing in and out of sleep, never once having a dream. I was shocked conscious by the sound of knocking. I couldn't move without feeling like someone was ripping my arm off, so I just shouted a vague, "Come in!"
After I few moments of thinking I may have imagined the knocking, I heard the wooden door being pushed open and the shuffling of feet against the floor.
"Good afternoon, sweetheart." I felt a hand being pressed against my cheek, "Heard you weren't feeling too hot."
Peeling my eyelids open I looked up at Remus. His brown eyes were searching my blue ones and he had a slight and loving smile on his face.
"How'd you get in here? I asked, reaching up to my face to put my hand over his.
"I have my ways." He flashed his white teeth and winked, causing me to let out a small laugh.
"Do you want to go read downstairs?" He asked, grabbing my hand in his. My cheek felt cold without his touch.
"I'd love to, but I can barely move my hand to hold yours... How am I supposed to get downstairs?"
"umm... Good question... We'll work together."
Reaching down to help me up, he slowly got me to my feet. It was a long and tiring journey, but we made it to the burgundy Griffindor couch, dropping down onto its soft cushions. We sat there for what felt like a few minutes, but when I checked my watch I realized I had been sitting in his arms for nearly forty five minutes. His back was against the arm of the peice of furniture, and I sat in front of him, his legs on either side of me, his arms wrapped around my waist. He pressed a kiss to the side of my neck and I smiled.
"I love you..." He whispered into my ear, tightening his hold on me.
"I love you too..." I smiled and leaned into his chest, closing my eyes.
We sat there for another hour or so, not once picking up the book we had brought down with us. We were simply enjoying the others company in silence, occasionally whispering to the other exactly how wonderful they were.
Just as I was about to doze off to sleep, I heard the portrait door swing open. I didn't bother opening my eyes to see who it was, because at the moment, it didn't really seem important.
But only for a moment.
"Oh how sweet." A voice all too formiliar assaulted my ears, and I almost kept my eyes shut, refusing to face the person standing in the room. In fact, I shut my eyes tighter, the blackness the last safe place I had. It has to be a dream. A hallucination. Anything but true. I wouldn't believe it.
Remus' arms tightened around me as he said, "sorry, but do we know you?"
No. No no no no no no no. This could not be happening. Everything was colliding, mixing, getting 100% screwed up. Not today. This couldn't happen today. Everything had been perfect, and now...
I forced myself to open my eyes and face the truth.
Looking at the men standing in the center of the room, I took in their appearance. There was three of them, two of which looked almost exactly the same; short hair, broad shoulders, tattoos decorating their arms. But the man standing in front of the two looked all too familiar.
He was wearing a black hat, hiding most of his face from view. But that didn't stop me from noticing the thin scar stretching down across his weathered cheek.
"You don't know me. But she sure does." A sick grin spread across his evil face as he continued, "Her and I are good friends..."
"Friends? You don't seem like the kind of person she would be friends with..." Remus moved away from me and sat normally on the couch, facing forward. Oh god, he wasn't recognizing him. And when he did, he would be furious. Remus didn't quite understand the danger he is in right now, but when he found out, it would be hell.
"Oh trust me. I'm from her secret group of friends. But you wouldn't know about us, would you Boyfriend?"
"Secret group of friends? What's he talking about, Sweetheart?" I avoided his eyes, staring straight at Fuego. The man who single handedly ruined my life. And he was about to do it again, I could see it.
"He's not talking about anything Remus. Go to your dorm." I tried to get him to leave, my last effort to keep everything secret. Remus didn't need to know. This was my battle and mine alone.
"What? Why are you acting like this Sweetheart? I don't understand! Why do you want me to leave?"
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." I mumbled to Remus, and then I stood up to face my enemy, ignoring the sharp pain going through my body at that action.
Fuego lifted his head to smirk trite ingle at me. We were now face to face, staring at each others features. When he lifted his head, it exposed more of his face from behind his hat, making him oh so much more recognizable.
"Wait... Wait a minute...Isn't he... Isn't he that guy that broke into Hogwarts, Elektra?! Isn't he the man that killed your parents?! And you're trying to get me to leave?!" He jumped up, standing in front of me, trying to protect me. Exactly what I knew he would try to do.
I couldn't let Remus get hurt. The guilt would haunt me forever. And if he stayed in this room much longer, he would surely find out my secret. This was between Fuego and I. Not my perfect, innocent, werewolf boyfriend.
"Remus. Go to your room." I placed my hand on my shoulder and tried to push him aside. He wouldn't budge.
"You think you can just come in here, huh? Come in here and terrify my girlfriend? Well, good job, because you won't be leaving here unless your being taken away by the ministry." Remus stepped forward, pulling out his wand in the process and pointing it straight at Fuegos chest. This was it. Remus had now gotten involved. There was no going back.
The sick man chuckled, and with a swift movement of his arm, he shoved Remus to the side, making him tumble into a near by table, dropping his wand in the process.
"Silly boy. You think you can get in my way? Well you have an equally silly girlfriend here," Fuego reached out a hand to grab a small piece of my hair and I flinched away from his touch, "Well, Remus Lupin- yes I know your name- your girl has been keeping secrets. And it's about time they've been told."
He smirked and stared into my eyes with his black ones. It was here and now I knew that it was all over. There was nothing else I could do.
Game over.
"Fuego. Please. This is between you and I. Leave Remus be." I knew it was all over. But that didn't mean I wasn't going to try. That didn't mean I wasn't going to try my best to shield Remus from my world.
"Boys." Fuego snapped his figures at his two followers, "Bundle them up. We're going to take the with us."
" What?! No." Remus protested from his spot by the table, "We aren't going anywhere with-"
Fuego whipped his wand out from his inside jacket pocket, aiming start at Remus, making the sweet boy that I loved fall to the ground with a sickening thud, knocking over multiple things from the table in the process. I cringed when I heard his handsome head hit the ground, and instantly I was filled with anger.
"What did you do to him?!" I was done trying to stay calm. He had just knocked out my boyfriend! This was meant to stay between us two. He had crossed the line. My friends weren't meant to be involved! The people I loved weren't meant to get hurt. This man just kept taking everyone away from me, and I was done with it. It was then I made the decision. The decision that I would end Fuegos life, if it was the last thing I did. All he did was take, so I would take his life, giving him a taste of his own medicine. I rushed over to kneel next to Remus, rolling him over so his face wasn't against the dirty floor anymore. My body still ached, groaning with every swing of the arm or lift of a leg, and every single one of my limbs were exhausted, but I barely even noticed anymore. I stood, glaring with all my might at the dirty, evil, disgusting man standing in front of me.
"You. You are going to ruin my life. But I-" I hadn't taken more than three steps toward him when he pointed his wand at me.
I should have thought this through more. I hadn't made a plan or anything. I had been silly and naive.
I felt my body hit the ground, and I stayed awake long enough to see one of Fuegos hunch men lift Remus from his place on the ground. I then felt a pair of arms wrap around my body, and as much as I tried to fight, I knew I wasn't going to win. My life was now in my enemies hands.
The world went black.
